"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

Prayers For The Holy Father...

The Holy Father fell and fractured his wrist. A Vatican spokesman said it wasn't severe - Pope Benedict said Mass and had breakfast before going to hospital.

He had the wrist pinned, and it's in a cast.

I have to say that I'm surprised he had breakfast, knowing that he might need a surgical procedure done on the wrist, but, obviously, I'm delighted to hear that it wasn't, therefore, a bad break.

The Holy Father needs our prayers more than ever now. Knees to the deck and crack open the rosaries, chaps!

Twitch of the mantilla to all those who tweeted the news on Twitter...

About Me

I have given up describing myself as a young Catholic woman, but I don't quite feel ready to call myself "middle aged." Is there anything in between?
I came back to the Church in September 1992 after what I consider to be a Damascus Road conversion, and guess you could call me a Trad by inclination.
I'm a single woman living and working in the world (as a Science teacher), and I took private vows in December 2002.
